Show #429 - Sacraments In this episode, we look at Romans 7:4 and discuss if this passage really means we as Christians don’t have to keep the law, then we move to the biblical support for believers in Yeshua keeping a kosher diet. Our main topic looks at a comment left that suggests we are not saved because we do not have legitimate “priests” administering the sacraments and therefore have not partaken in communion and are, thus, not a part of the Church. Are the Sacraments a biblical concept? If so, how many Sacraments are there? Do we need a Priest to administer Sacraments? All of this and more in this episode.
